Who Do Your Books Appeal To?

June 17, 2016 By Captain Maiel Leave a Comment

Welcome back for another installment of the Blue Honor Vlog. You can subscribe to my channel on YouTube. There you’ll get episodes of Shagbottom Theater and watch the process of making book trailers. And! You’ll be first in line to see it all. Once a video is ready, it’s uploaded, and you don’t have to wait for it to come out on the blog.

For June, I answer the reader question: Who Do Your Books Appeal To? Did you know you can ask me a question on the Contact Form? This and the Street Team Room on Facebook are how you can contact me directly. I can’t promise that I will be able to answer your questions.

Can you believe that I am already on my third episode? Before we know it, I’ll be recording 33.

Pay special attention in this episode because I give some info on the new release coming later this summer.

You’ll find that I find some difficulty in answering this question. It’s either brain fog from medication, or the usual conundrum of an author attempting to clearly articulate who they wish to read their books (other than everyone and anyone). When we authors write, we’re not always doing so with an eye on who will deign to have a gander at our prose or poetics. Maybe that’s possible during a polish, but I find it gets in the way of what I’m trying to accomplish. I do my best to remember that there will be an audience eventually for whom I must be clear.

Go ahead and click the play button, and I’ll do my best to let you know the answer to the question…
